StudioPress News

With the exponential increase of mobile device and tablet users, the concept of responsive web design is becoming more relevant to what we do here at StudioPress. While there are some plugins that exist which make a theme “mobile”, we decided to take matters into our own hands.

While I was in San Francisco this summer for WordCamp, I had the pleasure of attending a session called Responsive Web Design given by Sara Cannon. (Follow her at @saracannon.)

There’s no denying the longterm effects that mobile devices will have on web design. Sara happens to think so as well:

With a user base of more than 58,000 people, we’re frequently asked for recommendations on high quality web hosting. Since we took the hosting for Copyblogger Media in-house earlier this year, we can’t really recommend something we don’t use.

So we’re offering you the exact hosting services that we use for our own high-traffic sites.

Are you looking to have your site built on the Genesis Framework? Have you had a chance to see all of the amazing sites built with it? If not, take some time to check out the Theme Showcase, and you’ll see just how powerful Genesis can be.

At StudioPress, we believe in giving credit where it’s due. Genesis serves as the foundation of more than 250,000 sites, and we’d like to show you who’s behind some of the best designed sites on the internet. Below you will meet 3 very talented people – whom we consider friends and are among the Genesis Developers we recommend that are available for hire.

Jennifer Baumann, Dream Whisper Designs

I am a longtime StudioPress addict and founder of Dream Whisper Designs, based in northeast Pennsylvania. I am also an avid horseback rider and creature mom, and I love creating beautiful, yet functional websites. Always a creative type, I initially failed to follow my heart and instincts. Fortunately, my now dusty Master’s Degree has been supplanted by an undying passion for creative websites and blogs built on the Genesis Framework for WordPress. I’ve been around since the days of the Revolution theme.

I’m thrilled to be a part of the StudioPress community and even more thrilled to be able to offer my clients designs that reflect their vision built on the best framework around.

We are very proud to announce the very first Genesis Connect event, which will be held during WordCamp San Francisco. Genesis Connect is an unofficial meetup open to anyone who uses or develops with the Genesis Framework.

Darcy Milder, Graphically Designing

Graphically Designing was born in 2007 from a casual love affair with design and typography. From trying to make my own blog beautiful, grew a network of blogs and websites on 5 continents and in several languages. I love beautiful things, and after about 2 years making the blogosphere beautiful, I began to focus on what makes a beautiful blog work. I poured myself into SEO, browser compatibility, learning best practices of CSS and began to tackle php.

The marriage of the Genesis Framework and my designs is no coincidence. I searched out the very best in theme frameworks and knew this is where I wanted my clients. From custom, one-of-a-kind spaces to beautiful designs, I can offer something beautiful for every blogger.

Lindsey Riel, Pretty Darn Cute Design

Pretty Darn Cute Design is my absolutely necessary creative outlet. Without it I would explode. I have had a passion for design my entire life. I first indulged my passion by creating websites in Notepad then later discovered the magic of WordPress. Since then my continuing education has enabled me to build PDCD into a rapidly expanding graphic/web design consulting business. I’m a Military Wife and feel incredibly blessed to have a portable career that’s allowed me to work with amazing people from all over the world.

I love what I do and enjoy bringing my clients web and graphic design ideas to fruition. I work with everything from the whimsical and light hearted to the serious professional. Discovering Genesis was a turning point in my business.

If you don’t follow me on Twitter, you may have missed that a new coat of paint was applied here at StudioPress. We’ve very pleased with the outcome of the site, and are excited about some of the things we have to share.

The New StudioPress Design

It’s no secret that the signature StudioPress black/orange color scheme no longer exists here on the site – and that, of course, is by no accident. Every once in a while brands go through transitions which can certainly warrant a color change, and for StudioPress this was the perfect time.

It’s been nearly 9 months since StudioPress came together with a few others to form Copyblogger Media – a development company which provides a suite of tools to help publishers succeed online.

Recently we celebrated the anniversary of the launch of the Genesis Framework – and wanted to spend the next year focusing on the Genesis development community. After all, without all of their hard work and contributions, Genesis wouldn’t be where it’s at.

With that being said, we plan on introducing you to the developers who’ve made a difference…

Over the past couple of years, many businesses have been built upon WordPress. Commercial Theme & Plugin development are the primary areas where most businesses were focused, but now it’s being taken a step further.

I am very happy to announce that my good friend Wesley Donehue has launched Win With WordPress, which is built on the Genesis Framework. Win With WordPress provides a hosted solution for inexpensive websites for political and non-profit organizations. Not only is Win With WordPress built on Genesis, all of the themes and client sites they develop will also be built on Genesis.

One of the issues was that GenesisBuddy took the form of a child theme that had to be integrated with our Genesis child themes in order to work. While the process wasn’t difficult, it added an extra step which together, we felt was unnecessary.

Rebuilding the GenesisBuddy Add-On

After discussions with Ron and Andrea, we decided that rewriting the code for GenesisBuddy was a good idea, and that there was a way to provide an easier solution to our users. Ron rebuilt the code in the form of a plugin, called GenesisConnect, and will be supported at StudioPress.
